I recent put 16" factory style steel wheels on my truck. I would assume they are 80's era. 3 are rivited together and 1 is welded beating I bought them in a junk yard. All the rims compared to the 16.5 are just a little to small to mount over the front drums, and have clearance for the drum to stretch. These tight tolerances keeps the drum from flexing I assume and causes me death wobble as I am braking. This wobble doesn't happen when I am using the 16.5's. I tried Spacing the wheels out with some washers but won't do the trick do t studs length. Any recommendations???

Thanks.
